Description

Strontium titanate/ruthenate strontium ferroelectric superlattice thin film material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electronic information materials, functional materials and intelligent materials, and particularly relates to a strontium titanate/strontium ruthenate ferroelectric superlattice thin film material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The ferroelectric film is an important electronic information material, functional material and intelligent material, and can be made into ferroelectric material due to its excellent ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and dielectric propertiesRandom access memory, sensor, actuator, transistor field effect transistor, surface acoustic wave device, pyroelectric detector, etc. At present, lead zirconate titanate (Pb (Zr) is a common ferroelectric materialxTi1-x)O3PZT for short) as a representative lead-based oxide ceramic material. Since lead-based ferroelectric materials contain a large amount of PbO, there is a risk of serious pollution to the ecological environment during production, use and disposal thereof. In recent years, in order to cope with the problem of global increasing environmental pollution, the main countries in the world have successively issued pollution control management methods about the prohibition of use of certain harmful substances in electronic and electric equipment and electronic information products. Among them, lead-containing ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials are limited in use. Therefore, the development and application of "environmentally friendly" lead-free ferroelectric materials are not only an important scientific and technical problem, but also have become social problems with much attention.
In recent years, there have been some advances in the development and application of lead-free ferroelectric materials. However, compared with the traditional PZT lead-based ferroelectric material, the lead-free ferroelectric material has larger differences in ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric and other properties. Therefore, the development of a lead-free ferroelectric material with high performance, which can reach or even exceed the performance of the traditional PZT lead-based ferroelectric material, is a key problem that must be solved for realizing the replacement of the lead-based ferroelectric material by the lead-free ferroelectric material.
Strontium titanate (SrTiO)3) The quantum paraelectric insulator has a cubic perovskite structure (c ═ a), and does not have ferroelectricity. However, some external factors can damage SrTiO3The symmetry of the lattice inversion in space makes it ferroelectric, so SrTiO3Also known as initial ferroelectrics. It is reported that SrTiO can be made by A-site ion doping, isotopic substitution, strain effect, and the like3Ferroelectricity occurs. In addition, SrTiO grown under low oxygen pressure3The epitaxial film has large tetragonality (c/a)>1) And lattice volume, room temperature ferroelectricity can also occur. However, in SrTiO by these methods3The ferroelectricity induced by the method is very small compared with the traditional ferroelectric material, so that the method does not have the advantages of low cost and high efficiencyHas practical value. However, we have found that SrTiO3And strontium ruthenate (SrRuO)3) The superlattice thin film material formed by the composition material has excellent iron polarization performance. In SrTiO3/SrRuO3In the superlattice thin film material, SrRuO3Thickness is controlled to be 2 unit cells, SrTiO3The thickness is controlled to be 25 unit cells, and the residual polarization intensity is as high as 33.0 mu C/cm2Compared with the traditional lead-free ferroelectric material BaTiO3The film contrast is increased by nearly 750 percent, and can be compared favorably with a lead-based ferroelectric material PZT film. The method has important significance for the development and application of the lead-free ferroelectric film material.

The thickness of the fixed strontium ruthenate is 1 unit cell, and when the strontium titanate is 9 unit cells, the remanent polarization is 9.0 mu C/cm2(ii) a When the strontium titanate has 18 unit cells, the remanent polarization is 4.7 μ C/cm2(ii) a When the strontium titanate has 25 unit cells, the remanent polarization is 6.3 μ C/cm2. When the thickness of the strontium titanate is 25 unit cells and the strontium ruthenate is 2 unit cells, the remanent polarization can reach 33.0 mu C/cm2
The invention also provides a preparation method of the strontium titanate/ruthenate strontium ferroelectric superlattice thin film material, which is characterized by comprising the following specific steps of:
(1) respectively placing strontium titanate target materials and strontium ruthenate target materials in a deposition chamber of pulse laser deposition equipment, placing oxide single crystal substrate materials on a sample seat, and preparing the ferroelectric superlattice material by using a pulse laser deposition method, wherein the molar ratio of the strontium titanate target materials is Sr to Ti to O is 1:1:3, and the molar ratio of the strontium ruthenate target materials is Sr to Ru to O is 1:1: 3;
(2) alternately irradiating the strontium titanate target material and the strontium ruthenate target material by using pulse laser under the conditions that the temperature is 650 ℃ and the oxygen pressure is 20Pa, accurately controlling the thicknesses of the strontium titanate target material and the strontium ruthenate target material according to the respective growth rates of a strontium titanate layer and a strontium ruthenate layer, wherein when the deposition time of the strontium ruthenate layer is 1 second and 2 seconds respectively, the thicknesses of the strontium ruthenate layer are 1 unit cell and 2 unit cells respectively; when the deposition time of the strontium titanate is 4, 8 and 11 seconds, the thickness is 9, 18 and 25 unit cells.
(3) And (3) repeating the process of the step (2) to ensure that the total thickness of the prepared superlattice film is about 250nm (the repetition period is 23-62 times).
As a preferred technical scheme:
in the step (1), Nb-SrTiO is used3Using single crystal slices as substrate materials, respectively cleaning the single crystal slices by using acetone and ethanol for 10 minutes, then placing the substrates on a sample seat in a deposition chamber, heating the substrates to 750 ℃ under the oxygen pressure of 20Pa, and preserving the heat for 30 minutes;
in the step (2), the temperature of the substrate is reduced to 650 ℃, the laser frequency of the strontium titanate and the strontium ruthenate target materials is 5Hz under the oxygen pressure of 20Pa, and the energy density is 1.0-1.5J/cm2The distance between the target and the substrate is 4 cm.
In the step (2), when the time for irradiating the strontium titanate and the strontium ruthenate by the pulse laser is 11 seconds and 2 seconds respectively, the STO-25/SRO-2 superlattice material can be obtained, each growth cycle of the superlattice consists of 25 strontium titanate unit cells and 2 strontium ruthenate unit cells, and the repetition frequency in the step (3) is 24 times.

In the step (3), the intermittent time is ensured to be 10 seconds when the strontium titanate and the strontium ruthenate layers are alternately grown.
After the step (3) is finished, the obtained ferroelectric superlattice material is at 5 multiplied by 104And (3) keeping the temperature of the Pa solution at 650 ℃ for 30 minutes under high-purity oxygen, and then cooling the Pa solution to room temperature at the speed of 2-10 ℃/min.
The invention has the advantages that:
1) although neither strontium titanate nor strontium ruthenate is a ferroelectric material, a superlattice thin film material composed of the two materials has ferroelectric polarization performance; 2) because both strontium titanate and strontium ruthenate do not contain lead, the strontium titanate/strontium ruthenate ferroelectric superlattice film is a lead-free ferroelectric material; 3) the remanent polarization of the material is as high as 33.0 mu C/cm2The lead-free ferroelectric film material is 750 percent higher than a typical lead-free ferroelectric material barium titanate film, even can be compared with the PZT lead-based ferroelectric film material commonly used at present, so the strontium titanate/ruthenate strontium ferroelectric superlattice film material is a high-performance lead-free ferroelectric material.
The invention adopts a pulse laser deposition method to prepare strontium titanate and strontium ruthenate ferroelectric superlattice films. In the preparation process, the thicknesses of the strontium titanate layer and the strontium ruthenate layer can be accurately regulated and controlled, so that the ferroelectric, dielectric and other properties of the superlattice film can be effectively regulated and controlled. The thickness of the strontium ruthenate layer is controlled to be 1-2 unit cells, and excellent ferroelectric performance can be obtained at room temperature by regulating the thickness of strontium titanate (9, 18 and 25 unit cells respectively). The strontium titanate/ruthenate strontium ferroelectric superlattice film material can be used as a high-performance lead-free ferroelectric material to replace a PZT lead-based ferroelectric film, and in addition, the strontium titanate/ruthenate strontium ferroelectric superlattice film and the preparation technology thereof can be compatible with a semiconductor micromachining process technology, so that the strontium titanate/ruthenate strontium ferroelectric superlattice film material has wide application prospect in the aspects of integrated ferroelectric devices such as ferroelectric random access memories, sensors, actuators, transistor field effect transistors, surface acoustic wave devices, pyroelectric detectors and the like.
